Abstract

Gavin Brown (University of Leicester, UK) is one of today’s most eminent scholars of political geography and sexualities. In this intellectual-biographical interview, he describes his academic path, as well as discusses some of his major contributions to the fields of geographies of sexualities and gender and protest movements and activism. This interview by Gilly Hartal introduces some of his major conceptual and theoretical contributions in the fields of sexualities and gender, geopolitics, the spatiality of protest camps and, in particular, the spatial practice of solidarity. Knowledge, as feminist theory has taught us, is always grounded in personal-political contexts and subjectivities. This conversation with Gavin Brown offers an intimate perspective into Brown’s academic experience, which interestingly also reflects the growth and materialization of the field of geographies of sexualities into a sub-discipline. The interview also addresses the current state of critical geographical work and calls for support of and solidarity with scholars and departments under threat.
性别、性别和激进主义的地域性思考——访加文·布朗教授
加文·布朗(英国莱斯特大学)是当今政治地理学和性学领域最杰出的学者之一。在这个智力传记式的采访中,他描述了他的学术道路,并讨论了他在性地理学、性别地理学、抗议运动和激进主义等领域的一些主要贡献。Gilly Hartal的访谈介绍了他在性与性别、地缘政治、抗议营地的空间性,尤其是团结的空间实践等领域的一些主要概念和理论贡献。正如女权主义理论告诉我们的那样,知识总是建立在个人政治背景和主观性的基础上。与加文·布朗的对话提供了一个深入了解布朗学术经历的视角,有趣的是,这也反映了性地理学领域成为一门分支学科的成长和具体化。采访还谈到了关键地理工作的现状,并呼吁支持和团结受到威胁的学者和部门。
